Learn the techniques that will make you the one doing the hitting, not the guy that’s getting hit.
In this series your learn:
- Tire and frustrate your opponent by making him miss while slipping and rolling away from every one of his punches.
- Smash your opponent with combinations that are specific to each evasive head movement.
- Hit way harder with less effort through the use of key technical details.

Self Defense Program for Hamilton High Schools
Posted by: | CommentsToday was my first day back teaching self defense/martial arts at the high schools in Hamilton, Ontario. It’s always great fun to work with the students and they seem to enjoy changing up their regular routine for a few days.
I started the high school self defense program almost 14 years ago after one of my teachers asked me, a few years after graduating, to come back and teach martial arts to a few of his classes. Over time the program has evolved a lot and now I’m pretty busy running it all.
I have a few hours off now before teaching an MMA class at Joslin’s MMA tonight…

Posted by: | Comments
Just getting ready to teach the 2nd workshop of the 22 planned for this year at Joslin’s MMA. Today we’re going to be working on one of my favourite aspects of boxing; Avoiding punches with proper head movement and firing back with the most effective combos while the opponent is vulnerable.
Should be fun a fun lesson to teach.
Anyways, I was up most of the night editing the videos from the X-Guard workshop that I taught last weekend. All 14 videos are now up online in the new PREMIUM CONTENT SHOP.
In addition to all the free basic instructional techniques already offered on the site, the Premium content shop will be the place to find intermediate and advanced level technique plus many new specialized video training series that will help you improve your game fast.

James Toney in the UFC…Who should he fight?
Posted by: | Comments
With the UFC’s recent signing of champion boxer James Toney there has been a lot of talk in the media.
I think it’s great to have a highly accomplished boxer within the ranks of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and I’m really looking forward to seeing him go at it in the Octagon. His success will depend on who he gets matched up with first.
From a style standpoint the ideal fighter for him to fight would be someone who likes to strike but possesses less than stellar take down skills. With some basic wrestling training, consisting mostly of drilling defensive movements, I believe Toney can prove to be very dangerous against any fighter who fits that description. Give him a fighter with solid take down ability and I think he loses the fight sometime in the first round.
It’s all going to come down to what the UFC’s plans are with James Toney. Do they want to see him dominated in his first fight to send a message to the boxing world ? Or do they want to help him climb the ranks and build on his already substantial star status, by giving him fights in which he has an average to good chance of winning?
Anyone in particular you think would be a good match up for James Toney?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Watch out for the X-Guard!
Posted by: | Comments
A large group of students came out to the X-Guard workshop I taught yesterday afternoon. I’m looking forward to hear how the techniques worked out for them in their rolling this week. It’s always nice to get a few hours of drilling techniques and then putting it to use in sparring as soon as possible.
I ended up covering nearly everything I had hoped to at the workshop.
1. Basic X-guard entry and control
2. Two sweeps from the x-guard
3. Two x-guard entries from standing
5. Two x-guard entries from the guard
5. One mount escape into the x-guard
6. One back escape into the x-guard
7. One way to pass the x-guard
Next workshop will be taking place this coming Sunday. I’ll be focusing on one of my favourite aspects of striking, head movement. Learn how to slip and evade punches and fire back with some devastating combinations.
